NoteAfter downloading the complete Soundstage dvd torrent with
Herbie Hancock, Carmen McRae and Sun Ra, a friend asked me to
put the Sun Ra part in a separate file. Then, another friend asked if
it would be possible to keep the video part replacing the audio with
a better sounding source. I did both things and also added menus
& chapters for an easier navigation. On the last moment, I included
again the intro of the broadcast, containing beautiful photos and
nice commentaries by Sun Ra, but this title remains with its original
poorer sound as I have no better recording of it. Thanks to the
original seeder of the video and to S.A., who provided the sound recording.
